Baby boomer man humorously looking at mid-life, retirement, and memories.
Figures. We spend a fortune getting Nancy’s bunions removed and all she needed was a couple more pair of shoes.
Then again, the shoes probably cost as much as the surgery. Then again, if she had the tall boots, at least she wouldn’t grunt so much when she bends over to tie her shoes!
(Oh, I will pay for that.)
My American-Franco blog buddy and I are on the front page of Boomspeak.com! Polly Vou Francais explains when and why she positively melts.
Oh my. It’s a proverbial little old lady who wants help crossing the street, but Paris-style. I positively melt. MELT! I’m not quite sure why. First off, I’m honored that from a quick glance she has deemed me trustworthy enough to ferry her across a treacherous passage.
If you love Paris, you will love these little anecdotes and the unusual pictures she posts about living life in the city of lights. I love her writing. It’s unaffected and genuine. She is on a mission to discover and learn as much as she can about her adopted city.
And the boomers at Boomspeak like my Herman’s Hermits post for our anniversary!
These guys at Boomspeak are just enough off their rockers to post just about anything anybody submits. If you’re a boomer, drop them a link to your post and you too may be repurposed so they can find fame and fortune riding the backs of hard working bloggers.
I’m a sucker for flowering trees. Our little burg has loads of Bradford Pear trees and at one time had a major thoroughfare lined with cherry trees that were part of Lady Bird Johnson’s Highway Beautification Act.
Unfortunately these trees are almost all gone because they are aging and losing limbs. Some trees have been lost to “ignorance.” Developers/builders hack them down and then apologize later that they “didn’t know.”
If you appreciate the fact that billboards don’t blight the interstate highway system, thank Lady Bird for that too.
ArborDay.org is offering ten free trees with a $10 membership. How cool is that? If you don’t want flowering trees, they have ten different Oak trees or ten Blue Spruce trees and others (depending on your hardiness zone.) This is a “while they last offer” so don’t hesitate.
The trees are guaranteed to grow or they will replace them!
Your 10 free trees are guaranteed to grow, or the Foundation will replace them free of charge. Your six to twelve inch trees will come postpaid (Free shipping) with easy planting instructions.
The world needs more trees. Now if they could develop a self-mulching or quickly biodegradable tree leaf, I would be really cool with more trees!
There’s something amiss (pun intended) in the Ladies Professional Golf Association. (LPGA) (ladies, harumph!) No, it’s not their lack of language skills like the LPGA thinks, it’s their lack of looks and the fact that they are all named Park, Kim or Lee. Except for Ochoa. And Wie, but she can’t win.
The LPGA announced they will suspend players from their tour if they can’t pass an oral evaluation. (No pun intended)
Seon-Hwa Lee, the only Asian with multiple victories this year, said she works with an English tutor in the winter. Her ability to answer questions without the help of a translator has improved she says. But I’ll bet you a long tee, she needed a helper to formulate this quote…
“The economy is bad, and we are losing sponsors,” Lee said. “Everybody understands.”
One of the directors, Ms. Peters (I am NOT making this up) says it’s only right.
“This is an American tour,” Peters said. “It is important for sponsors to be able to interact with players and have a positive experience.”
And here I thought it was all about TV ratings lead by quality golf! No, it’s just that the big-wig white guys want to flirt with the golfer chicks.
Some obviously closeted men even think beach volley ball got tedious during the Olympics.
Since it’s not about TV ratings, and they won’t play golf in bikinis, I cannot come up with a solution. I’m just saying that teaching Kim Lee Park to say “conditions were good for scoring, I just couldn’t make any putts” won’t resurrect the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour.
These may not be solutions, but they are my suggestions:
Nah, it’s hopeless. The LPGA is headed the same as the National Hockey League: you can see them on TV only if you have 886 cable/satellite channels. And then only during playoffs. What? no playoffs in Ladies Professional Golf? Well there ya go! LPGA needs playoffs!
